I was brn missing my left arm. In 1986, at 18 mnths, I was fitted with a prsthetic (义肢) device, a decisin made by my parents and dctrs s that I wuld develp “nrmally”.
I spent my entire childhd and adlescence trying t fit in. I did just abut anything t ease the pains f the stares and pinting fingers frm my classmates. By the time I was 8, I had n self-cnfidence, and the hand I was wearing was making it harder fr me t fit in. S I decided I was better ff withut ne. I didn’t need anyne t fix me.
T prve that I wasn’t limited by my disability, I develped a lve fr all sprts, in particular swimming. I was selected t my first Australian wmen’s swimming team at age 13 and successfully represented my cuntry fr eight years. I realized I’d made a name fr myself because f my disability.
I taught myself hw t be cmfrtable in a sciety filled with insecurities. S when I was first cntacted in 2021 by Cvvi, a cmpany trying t create the wrld’s mst advanced binic (仿生的) hand, I was a bit surprised. They asked me t trial the hand and, if pssible, t becme a patient advcate. Initially, I said n. Then, curisity gt the better f me.
While I was busy advcating fr disability rights, a new generatin f leaders, like Amy Purdy and Nick Vujicic, used the pwer f technlgy and scial media t display wheelchairs r artificial limbs withut explanatin. Peple feared disability less. Sciety was beginning t see a persn first, and their disability secnd.
Viewing disability thrugh a scial lens als meant acknwledging that a persn is mre disabled by their envirnment and the discriminatin f thers than by their actual disability. As thse cnversatins shifted, I realized that there was an pprtunity t use technlgy t steer the narrative fr future generatins. In July 2022, I decided t trial the hand.
The rle f patient advcate is an enrmus privilege. Thrugh sharing my jurney, I’m able t reach thusands f ther peple wh wuld benefit frm its extrardinary capabilities. That’s why I wear a binic hand—nt because I’m brken, but because I have an pprtunity t enhance the human capabilities that already exist.

A. she was lnging fr fameB. sprts gave her self-cnfidence

A. Intelligent and brave.
B. Warm-hearted and patient.

brccli
When served cauliflwer r brccli, sme kids turn away in annyance. Dn’t blame them—a new study suggests specific enzymes (酶) in saliva (唾液) might make these vegetables taste terrible t sme children.
These enzymes, called cysteine lyases, are prduced by bacteria in the muth.
The same enzymes are als lcked away in the cells f Brassica vegetables like brccli and cauliflwer. When we chew brccli, these enzymes spill ut f their strage cntainers while thse in ur muth start t wrk.
These enzymes break dwn a cmpund (化合物) called S-methyl-L-cysteine sulfxide (SMCSO) in these vegetables, and this breakdwn prcess transfrms the cmpund int sharp smell mlecules (分子). Previus studies f adults suggest the level f cysteine lyase activity in a persn’s saliva determines hw much the SMCSO breaks dwn. This, in turn, influences hw these vegetables taste t adults.
Accrding t these past studies, when different adults cnsume brccli, there can be a huge difference in hw many unpleasant smells the fd lets ff as their saliva-brne enzymes break it t bits. But the authrs wndered whether the same difference can be seen in kids, wh are usually mre sensitive t bitter and sur tastes. They suspected that kids whse saliva prduced the mst smelly, SMCSO-surced cmpunds wuld shw the strngest dislike fr brccli.
And the team’s new study prved their assumptin. While bth adults’ and kids’ saliva prduced smelly cmpunds when expsed t cauliflwer, these smells did nt influence whether adults liked the vegetable. On the ther hand, kids whse saliva prduced high cncentratins f these smells reprted hating cauliflwer the mst.
The new study included 98 pairs f parents and children aged 6 t 8. After taking samples f each participant’s saliva, the scientists mixed it int raw cauliflwer pwder. They measured the SMCSO-surced smell cmpunds let ff and fund each participant’s saliva generated a different quantity f smells.
Interestingly, the degree f sickly smell prductin was similar between parents’ saliva and their children’s. This indicates that parents and kids likely carry similar bacteria in their muths, which wuld cause them t prduce similar levels f cysteine lyases.
Our senses f taste and smell are strngest in yuth, which may make kids even mre sensitive t these differences in flavr. The same preference pattern is nt seen in adults, wh als prduce plenty f bad smells. This suggests that the adults came t tlerate the taste f Brassica vegetables. The findings agree with past studies f hw ur tastes change ver time: we can learn t vercme ur distaste fr certain fd by eating it mre.
28. What are the first tw paragraphs mainly abut?
A. The functin f muth bacteria.
B. The cause f an unpleasant flavr.
C. The feature f Brassica vegetables.
D. The frm f enzymes in ur muth.
29. What d previus studies indicate?
A. SMCSO-breakdwn depends n varius enzymes.
B. Enzymes determine the taste f Brassica vegetables.
C. Individuals release varying amunts f smell mlecules.
D. Kids prducing the mst smells hate brccli particularly.
30. What can we cnclude frm the passage?
A. We might accept sme fds thrugh repeated expsure.
B. The level f smells may affect an adult’s taste preference.
C. Parents’ and their kids’ saliva-brne enzymes dn’t match.
D. Kids’ saliva culd prduce higher cncentratins f smells.
31 Why des the authr write the passage?
A. T explain a fd preference.
B. T intrduce a research methd.
C. T illustrate a bilgical prcess.
D. T shw the discvery f an enzyme.

If yu had the pprtunity t live frever, wuld yu take it? Keeping yur bdy alive indefinitely still seems like an impssibility, but sme scientists think that digital technlgy may have the answer: creating a digital cpy f yur “self” and keeping it “alive” nline lng after yur physical bdy has ceased t functin.
In effect, the prpsal is t clne a persn electrnically. Unlike the familiar physical clnes — children that have identical features as their parents, but that are cmpletely separate rganisms with a separate life — yur electrnic clne wuld believe itself t be yu. Hw might this be pssible? The first step wuld be t map the brain.

Hw? One plan relies n the develpment f nantechnlgy (纳米技术). Ray Kurzweil — ne f the kings f artificial intelligence — predicts that within tw r three decades we will have nan transmitters that can be put int the bldstream. In the capillaries (毛细血管) f the brain, they wuld line up alngside the neurns and detect the details f the cerebral (大脑的) electrnic activity. They wuld be able t send that infrmatin t a receiver inside a special helmet, s there wuld be n need fr any wires sticking ut f the head.
As a further step, Ray Kurzweil als imagines the nan transmitters being able t cnnect yu t a wrld f virtual reality n the Internet, similar t what was shwn in the film “Matrix”. With the nan transmitters in place, by thught alne, yu culd lg n t the Internet and instead f the pictures cming up n yur screen, they wuld play inside yur mind. Rather than send yur friends e-mails yu wuld agree t meet up n sme virtual trpical beach.
Sme peple believe that they can enjy life after death. But why wait fr that when yu culd have a sht f nanbts (纳米机器人) and uplad yur brain nt the Internet and live frever as a virtual surfer?
One snag: t exist n the net yu will have t have yur neural netwrk parked n the cmputer f a web-hsting cmpany. These cmpanies want real mney in real bank accunts every year r they will wipe yur bit f the hard disc and sell the space t smene else. With yur bdy six feet undergrund hw will yu pay?
32. Which f the fllwing statements is TRUE accrding t the passage?
A. Nan transmitters can help map the human brain.
B. Electrnic clnes recreate the riginal human bdy.
C. Electrnic clnes may put their physical selves int mvies.
D. Nan transmitters use a helmet t detect the cerebral activities.
33. What is the authr’s attitude twards electrnic clnes?
A. Optimistic and careful.B. Interested and uncnvinced.
C. Excited and cnfused.D. Assured and critical.
34. The authr asks “hw will yu pay?” at the end f the article, because ________.
A. yu can’t pay t exist n the Internet if yu are physically dead
B. yu can’t pay fr hard disc space if yu dn’t have a bank accunt
C. yu can’t pay fr a special service if t many peple want t use it
D. yu can’t pay the web-hsting cmpany if yu dn’t have a neural netwrk

Physicist and Nbel Prize winner Richard Feynman develped a clever learning methd knwn as the Feynman Technique. It invlves explaining what yu're learning t thers. By teaching what yu’ve learned frm memry, yu engage in active recall. ____35____ It als ensures that yu understand the tpic, because yu can nly explain an idea if yu truly understand it. The technique cnsists f fur repeatable steps.
T begin, chse a cncept r tpic yu wish t fully understand. ___36___ The mre interested yu are, the faster yu’ll grasp it. Mrever, a persnally interesting tpic will keep yu mtivated and engaged.
___37___ Write ntes and explain it in a way that makes sense t a five-year-ld. If yu’d rather avid actually teaching smene, yu can just teach it t an imaginary audience. But it wrks much better if yu use a real persn. They’ll be able t let yu knw when smething isn’t clear.
While teaching yu may discver gaps in yur understanding. ____38____ Review yur ntes, reread bks, r seek external help t ensure yu have a cmplete understanding f the cntext befre mving frward.
Nw that yu fully grasp the cncept, test yur understanding by trying t teach it t anther persn. This will help yu identify any remaining areas f uncertainty yu need t revisit.
The Feynman Technique is a great way fr kids and grwn-ups t learn. ____39____ Yu need t actively think abut the prblem instead f passively reading r listening t smene else. Hwever, with great effrts in mastering this methd, yu’ll see yur learning results imprve quicker than ever befre.
A. It is mentally demanding.
B. This helps the infrmatin stick in yur mind better.
C. Teach it t a five-year-ld, wh wuld give yu direct feedback.
D. Yur curisity abut it will determine the pace f yur learning.
E. Once yu have chsen a tpic, yu can teach it t smene else.
F. Active engagement plays a key rle in prmting deeper learning.
G. When this happens, refer back t the riginal material fr the missing pieces.
